Overview
It offers a quiet sanctuary where guests can relax and unwind in the hot tub taking in the scenery and varied wildlife that call the woods home. And, if you’re lucky, you may catch a glimpse of the local deer or the many birds of prey that soar above the treetops. With a covered bike store alongside, you can explore the bike trails in one of Devon’s most popular mountain biking destinations.
Inside the lodge you will find everything you need in the kitchen to show off your culinary skills and prepare a delicious meal after a day of adventure in the forest. Although you may feel like you’re in the wilderness, there is a fully licensed American diner just a few hundred metres from the lodge which is open from breakfast until late.
Further afield the historic city of Exeter is a 10 minute drive away, great for a spot of retail therapy or taking in the varied history on offer, such as the cathedral and historic quay. If you are craving the fresh sea air and the feel of sand between your toes, Dawlish Warren and Exmouth are both close by, perfect for lazy days by the coast.
Whatever your perfect holiday looks like, once you get back to Haldon Forest Lodge you have the perfect space to relax and unwind in comfort.

Great location, but spoilt by lack of attention to detail
3.7/5

Lodge was not clean by my wife & I's standards. Mould was apparent on all window reveals showing that it had been shut up over winter but not cleaned properly. Mould was discovered in the kitchen cupboard under items and general dirt was discovered in the utensils draws. Main bathroom had evidence of mould especially at front of shower door. there were 2 front doors to lodge and in the picture in the adverts, shows that this is open. However, was told we could not open it in fear of water from the hot tub going into the lodge. I called owner to talk about key collection 2 days prior to visit to be told that there would be some logging activity going on that he had only just been made aware of. However, on arrival at the lodge, there is a sign affixed to the gateway entering the forest stating that logging work would be starting in Dec and ending Mid March which begs the question of the owners integrity. Classed as a luxury lodge that had a premium price, this needs to be reviewed by Luxury Coastal as a matter of urgency. Reason for not bring these issues to the attention of the owner is that the idea of going away to a secluded lodge is not to be disturbed. These issues would not have been resolved in a few matters but days. We were not wanting to be disturbed. However, virtually everyday the owner was seen hanging around which made it uncomfortable for my wife and I. On the last night of our stay, I discovered a CCTV camera on a high pole that we assumed was directed at the forest entrance gateway. Unfortunately, I discovered that the camera panned around as I was moving. If this is the owners camera, this needs to be highlighted as such. Overall, not impressed with the cleanliness or integrity of the owners and would not recommend the high price it commands.

Hi Barry, Thank you for reviewing your experience. We are so sorry to hear of your disappointment, we have addressed these points with the owner and these will be looked into further. We have always stated there is CCTV at this property and have since discovered that when we upgraded our website in November this notification did not transfer across. Please rest assured this has now been relisted. We always look to be open and honest with all of our guests and would not wish to withhold such information knowingly. We do hope that despite this you still had a lovely time in this wonderful location. Best wishes, The Luxury Coastal team

We had a lovely stay at Haldon Forest Lodge at the start of August 23. It's such a beautiful location. The lodge is very homely and has all the amenities we needed for our family of 6. The host, Adrian was very welcoming and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. We enjoyed our stay so much we immediately wanted to book to stay again later this year.

My wife and I enjoyed staying at Haldon Forest Lodge early August, it had every amenity you would need for a holiday. Having the nearby shops was a bonus for any forgotten items of food, BBQ coal etc. The hosts were very friendly and made us feel welcome from day 1 and were on hand for any issues should they arise (which they didn't) We would recommend this lodge for any couple or family up to 5-6 people - 5 stars
